Edizioni La Conchiglia

Every island, like every book, is a space and an oracular instrument, of initiation and passage to different realities. Every book, like every island, is a space and a tool for total imprisonment from which to access total freedom.”

Edizioni La Conchiglia was born in Capri in 1989 and grew together with the four bookshops of the same name created by Ausilia Veneruso and Riccardo Esposito in recent years on the island and in Rome and with the La Conchiglia Cultural Association.

Trails and walks on the Island

Going around the Island between past and present

The path, whether it is a drove road, a trail, a mule track, or simply a faint trace created by hunters, shepherds, farmers, or just to reach a place, inevitably refers to walking and moving through nature: once this activity was almost always connected to a task, to specific collective needs, or to an existential condition; today it is mostly related to an individual choice and an inner necessity.

If we closely examine some maps of Capri from the 19th century and the early 20th-century cartography, we notice that many paths allowed an organized connection between the interior of the Island and the coasts through small valleys and streams: some of these paths have survived while many others have disappeared… a series of volumes published in recent years guide us through the routes that are still fortunately passable, tell us about those we can no longer cross… others try to identify paths that are ‘visible’ only in paintings or even in the descriptions of travelers from past times.
